Asked which team he was rooting for, Jackson said "Rams, baby!" and said that he didn't mind that the football team was no longer based in St. Louis. His fiance, Kim Meystedt, (not pictured) said she didn't hold a grudge for the team's move, "not when they're playing against the Patriots!" (Tyler Graef ~ Southeast Missourian)
